Mav Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 Finally got to drive an F2 today, snow and all NIR Track wet and greasy but put in about 50 laps or so in four sessions. Car went really well for what I asked it to do, managed to keep it on the track with only one huge snake but held it and carried on. Being tall, or dumpy or clostrophobic is not handy for Daz's car as it seemed very enclosed and until he took all the seat padding out my helmet kept getting wedged on the roof ! Daz also gave me a tester to what its like to be hit by another F2 - "Bloody Hell" - is all I can say, the clanging of metal, the forward thrust and the jolt it gives you is unbelieveable - then he told me he only tapped me !!!! God knows what its like at full chat into a bend (he hit me on the straight ) Although I was very confident in driving the car and keeping it under control to my standards, I am still apprehensive as to what it will be like with cars all around me, as I only had Daz on track with me (Never dared to go on track when Lee Robinson #107 was going round - Smart Car by the way ) So its a big and now looking forward to Hednesford on April 24th, where with more pre-meeting practice (hopefully in the dry), I may take up Stuart Ralph's #782 (Daz's helper today) suggestion that I could start at the front with the whites We shall see The pic is the car I practiced in today, and it had the red aerofoil on !! Unfortunately due to the adverse weather, none of my photographers would come !!!!
